Eden Aurora Aiken, 10, joined the Island Institute in November, becoming the organization’s youngest member. A Cushing resident, Eden “likes to get mail,” she says, and identifies with the Institute’s community mission. She’s an early starter: five years ago, as a “grandfathered” fisherman under the state’s trap limits law, she set out 6 traps and began lobstering with her brother, Peter. Now she fishes 22 traps in the St. George River. Last year she made more than $1,000 fishing. In addition to fishing and belonging to the Institute, Eden volunteers at a local food pantry, serves as treasurer of her school student council and is a member of a civil rights team that meets periodically in Augusta, focusing on bullying.
